K well, here's the story, I just bought a Honda Prelude today...1993 (S engine) and I have a few basic questions about it.

Question 1 : Approximately how much weight does a carbon fiber hood save? maybe 20 lbs
Question 2 : Approximately how much weight does a lightened fly wheel save?maybe 10 lbs
Question 3 : If I convert an automatic tranny to manual, is the car going to have severe problems?no as long as it's done right
Question 4 : Does the V2 Intake have a make for my specific prelude (93, s, automatic)no
Question 5 : You think nology hotwires will give me a better performance or increase in horses?no, stock ones are fine

I know I am rediculously newbish by asking these questions, but honestly, I do not know the answers to any of them...just let me know which question # you are answering and if you indeed do know the answer

Sorry again...but I had to post this somewhere..</TD></TR></TABLE>

read all the threads in the FAQ sticky at the top, then come back with questions

 

ill answer what i can...

#2. It depends on the weight of the new flywheel. I drive a 98 and my jun flywheel is 12 lbs., but you can get 8 lb ones as well.

#3 there is always a chance that something will go wrong. but if you or who ever is doing it is careful/knows what they are doing you should be fine.

#4 in my opinion it is not worth it to get any aem intake. go to ebay and buy a generic one and then go buy yourself a nice filter.

#5 dont have experience in this area but in my opinion, the only reason to get new wires is if the old ones are deteriorating.

hope this helps

K well, here's the story, I just bought a Honda Prelude today...1993 (S engine) and I have a few basic questions about it.

Question 1 : Approximately how much weight does a carbon fiber hood save? 20-30lbs? not sure exactly.
Question 2 : Approximately how much weight does a lightened fly wheel save? depends on how lightened it is. if you're lightening the stock fly, i would go easy, but a chromoly or aluminum replacement can save 8-12 lbs...
Question 3 : If I convert an automatic tranny to manual, is the car going to have severe problems? not if its done correctly
Question 4 : Does the V2 Intake have a make for my specific prelude (93, s, automatic) dunno...

EDIT: too slow

 

hate to tell u this but i would trade it in for a manual h23 or h22

 

Ok..better question to ask is..what upgrades can I do before I do the h22 swap that will cooperate with the h22...catback exhaust? intake? or what?

 

suspension

 

any reccomendations on the suspension?

 

nitrous or keep saving instead of wasting money on an engine
that you're replacing anyway.
